I've never been scared of thunder and lightning - it's the fairies moving their furniture after all - but we had a very close call on Friday evening.
We had GD and 4 school friends staying over and they'd just arrived when the heavens opened and all hell let loose. The storm came closer and closer until the thunder roared directly overhead when there was the brightest flash and the loudest BANG I'd ever heard. Something had hit the roof - and I felt it to the extent my heart did a jitter. I've never been so scared though I didn't let on to the girls who weren't at all bothered fortunately (10 year olds). I soon returned to normal and DH thought I might have received a bit of residual current but boy, I've never experienced anything like before.
Has anyone else ever been affected by lightning?
